	1:55pm glenn: is that a paul hoeffler photograph, meghan?
	1:58pm Meghan: shhhhh, i hit a button by accident! it's not supposed to be live yet!
	1:58pm Meghan: I think I got away with it... don't mention the war.....
	1:58pm glenn: oopsy.
	2:03pm Parq: Ohh, this is gonna be one good show!

	2:06pm annie: perfect... just perfect..
	2:06pm Charlie: Hi Meghan! Have a great show!
	2:08pm Meghan: Hey all! Thanks Charlie!!
	2:17pm Charlie: early Duke Ellington = reason to be on this planet
	2:22pm glenn: "there's two kinds of music. good music, and the other kind" -duke ellington.
	2:22pm Meghan: ain't that the truth!
	2:23pm annie: i once was in the same room as CC, a showing of Pippin on Broadway, he strolled like nobody's business. all white-zoot-suited..
	2:24pm βrian: "There are two kinds ..." C'mon, now!
	2:25pm glenn: i only speak truth, meghan. for instance, i'm an exremely wealthy, super handsome, incredibly smart guy with a huge... ego.
	2:32pm Meghan: hahaha nice
	2:33pm ndbob: original version!
	2:36pm coelacanth: aw,shucks! i just missed "last kiss".
	2:37pm coelacanth: hi Meghan and water bearers(?)
	2:37pm JtotheK: good afternoon everyone.
	2:38pm Meghan: Aquarians or Aquariums?
	2:39pm coelacanth: yes!
	2:42pm glenn: aquarians in aquariums with aquaman.
	2:45pm Wilson K: Big O. Yes. Yep.
	2:45pm Meghan: You can't go wrong with Otis.... the man!
	2:48pm ndbob: One of the few good things about being older (old?) is I got to see Otis live
	2:51pm Meghan: OHHHHH, so super duper jealous...... seriously.... so jealous
	2:53pm ndbob: At the Baltimore Civic Center - 1967 - they literally crowned him the king of soul
	2:54pm Meghan: Did he blow your mind? Was he as amazing as it seemed?
	2:55pm Mike East: mutual love of Otis Redding bonded my wife and I in the early days of our relationship
	2:55pm annie: ain't no experiences like those ndbob...you hold tight to that.
	2:57pm annie: i think the biggest mistake i made with prospective partners is that i neglected to notice that they did not share my passion for music... and i'm still single
	2:57pm Nate K.: Hi Megahn, good groovin'!
	2:59pm Meghan: Hey there Nate! Oh Annie.... I think music is the most important thing to talk about.... way over children and religion.... since music is both my baby and religion!
	2:59pm coelacanth: when i've gone on dates with people who weren't passionate about music, at best, by the 4th date, there were awkward lulls in conversations.
	3:00pm ndbob: @Meghan - yep he did - Try a Little Tenderness was his show stopper
	3:01pm ndbob: also saw the Temptations and Martha and the Vandellas - never the Miracle, Marvin Gaye, etc
	3:01pm Meghan: I've been to concerts with people who just stand still the whole time. not a single movement. Granted, that was the first and last time I went to a concert with them....
	3:03pm βrian: @Meghan: was that a John Cage concert, perchance?
	3:03pm Meghan: All so good ndbob! Ha.... no but I could see that happen there!
	3:03pm glenn: many years ago, i had to split up with my leg model g.f. because she thought the sun set on lionel ritchie. i mean, really.
	3:04pm Meghan: my 5th grade self would have.... but that was for a brief couple months....
	3:05pm ndbob: I've had mixed experiences re relationships and music - some a lot of common interests, some very little
	3:05pm Mike East: I can't say my wife shares my passion for music, but there are a few artists that we bond over - Otis Redding, Hoodoo Gurus, Psychedelic Furs. But, for the most part, I think her taste is...well...let's talk about something else.
	3:07pm Mike East: I come here (wfmu) for intelligent musical discussion with people who know what they're talking about.
	3:07pm glenn: okay. how does she feel about butter in coffee?
	3:07pm coelacanth: haha!
	3:08pm ndbob: I like the Miracles music up until about 1968 - my fave Motown group
	3:08pm Mike East: @glenn - funny you say that...she was very attracted to my habit of dunking buttered rolls in coffee because her father did the same thing
	3:09pm glenn: there you go. men marry their mothers, women marry their fathers.
	3:10pm annie: eewwww.. no glenn no!!
	3:11pm βrian: Any Lightnin' Hopkins on tap, by any chance?
	3:13pm Meghan: I wish..... 2 hour slot had to slim it down.... that's why i need to do an all blues show.....
	3:13pm glenn: hey, i don't make this stuff up, you know.
	3:13pm Nate K.: As for the topic, I know it can be done.
	3:14pm annie: i did fall in love with the father of a couple kids i babysat for. one day before the parents had gone out the father was going in to exquisite detail over a solo violin part in sheherzade, my favorite piece of music. his passion for the interlude sealed my love for him. ...and i'm good frinds with him to this very day. although he does not remember that day, i guess because he lived that passion all the time.. ... THAT'S the kind of guy i like...
	3:14pm geezerette: Meghan, this is such a great show!!! I met a guy recently who actually said he wasn't interested in music. How sad is that?!!
	3:14pm ndbob: I remember meeting someone for the first time that I was involved with for a while - she came to visit me from Wyoming - I took her to her first record show - I was in Baltimore then - I remember sitting on the floor at the airport trying to balance the weight of all her records between suitcases
	3:16pm annie: see, i like a man by the size of his record collection..
	3:17pm coelacanth: i've never had a "relationship" with a woman like my mother for very long. the only thing is she wasn't over-the-top nurturing; and i don't like being nurtured much.
	3:18pm ndbob: I like being nurtured - and nurturing myself
	3:18pm glenn: i'm biting my tongue, annie.
	3:19pm annie: actually, i DID have a very wonderful relationship with someone who loved music the way i did... there was more passion in our love for the music and books. .. not so much else, but the first bit made me higher than a kite. he passed away a year ago.. and each time i hear something we'd like, i look up and wink towards the sky
	3:19pm βrian: Would that be gigabytes or terabytes?
	3:19pm annie: glenn: :-p
	3:21pm coelacanth: ndbob i'm more nurturing and i like it that way. it doesn't mean i don't want the person to give a crap! (and let me know that). if i'm sick, please bring me some miso soup then go in the other room!
	3:22pm glenn: mmmm. now i want miso soup. with scallions, please.
	3:22pm ndbob: @coelacanth :)
	3:23pm coelacanth: my most heartbreaking romance was with someone equally passionate as i about music, but she generally liked much more "commercial" music than i. i learned a lot from her though, after having exiled myself from commercial radio for several years.
	3:23pm annie: remember, miso soup with water OFF the boil
	3:23pm glenn: also, i think we spend more time discussing food and books than music, but i could be wrong.
	3:24pm Uncle Michael: Lovin' the hits!
	3:24pm geezerette: Please,please,please,please do a blues show!
	3:25pm βrian: Food, books, music, and ... wine!
	3:26pm annie: ...and i'm just starting another collection of Paul Bowles's short stories. wine!!! i have mine!
	3:26pm coelacanth: i worked with a guy years ago who'd get violently angry if i dared to suggest that there's any redeeming value in music. we saw eye-to-eye on almost everything else. strange.
	3:26pm βrian: "Have we no wine here?" (Coriolanus, Act I, Scene 9)
	3:27pm coelacanth: just pulled this album out last week! All Great!
	3:27pm annie: ...and i made the serious mistake of getting iinvolved with someone who had no idea who vivaldi was.. i should have known.. sheesh
	3:27pm Nate K.: Ahhh, the Temps version, nice.
	3:28pm Meghan: mmmmm wine. Need to pick up wine on the way home.....
	3:28pm glenn: "The food of thy soul is light and space; feed it then on light and space. But the food of thy body is Champagne and oysters; feed it then on Champagne and oysters; and so shall it merit a joyful resurrection, if there is any to be." - Herman Melville, 1852
	3:28pm Wilson K: My wife and I have differing tastes in music. I learned to like hers, and she just avoids mine.
	3:28pm Meghan: hahaha.....
	3:29pm Dave B: Howdy BD girl...
	3:29pm coelacanth: (no, it was "psychedelic shack")
	3:29pm annie: "Music hath the charms to soothe the savage breast." how misunderstood that line is. maybe i'll just hitch to someone who actually groks it.
	3:29pm Meghan: My birthday gift from my husband yesterday was a Jesus and Mary Chain album.... we have a lot of cross over of music taste. But yes, he does like some stuff I am not a fan of, and vice versa!
	3:30pm Meghan: Howdy Mr Brady!!
	3:30pm glenn: ii split up with somebody over religious differences. i'm an atheist, and she's satan.
	3:30pm Lewis: In my house, the challenge is that I listen far and wide and do not often return to the same place. I have a very high tolerance to listen through. My partner doesn't...
	3:31pm βrian: Through the door, I could here my housemate playing Coltrane. I brought a glass of Vacqueyras and knocked...
	3:32pm annie: i used to hate van morrison, then the downstairs tenant moved in and loved to blare that music. i acquired a taste for it; and listen with nostalgia for those days
	3:32pm coelacanth: ah-ha! so you ARE an aquarian! Happy Birthday fellow aquarian!
	3:33pm Wilson K: Her tastes tend toward the effete. Once I put on Led Zeppelin I and said it was some hot new band just to disqualify forever thereafter her claim of never having listened to Led Zeppelin.
	3:33pm Meghan: I lost a bet and had to watch the RUSH documentary..... with an open mind. That's how it goes down in my place. He lost the bet prior and was supposed to wear a size Medium New Order shirt....
	3:35pm Parq: Way-digging this Temps. Like a lot of people, I suspect, I didn't know they did the original of this. Remember their whole Psych Soul period so well.
	3:35pm Dave B: me too coelacanth - 2/7
	3:35pm glenn: i hate rush but that documentary is fabulous.
	3:36pm Meghan: I did watch with an open mind.... and where they started to geek out was where they lost me...
	3:37pm Dave B: don't get me started on the musical differences I had with the ex.
	3:37pm glenn: anyway, i hate to repeat myself, but is that a paul hoeffler photograph on the playlist?
	3:38pm geezerette: There's a great psychedelic Muddy Waters album called "Electric Mud".
	3:38pm Parq: < hears a favorite record from own adolescence, blisses out >
	3:38pm annie: i think we're all a bunch of music snobs
	3:39pm coelacanth: Happy Birthday Dave B! (i'm 2-2)
	3:40pm Dave B: Glenn - Library of Congress credits it to Marion Post Wolcott www.loc.gov...
	3:40pm annie: happy birthday dave!!..
	3:40pm Meghan: Glenn, not sure.... I just image searched Chitlin Circuit
	3:40pm Mike East: Bernadette!!
	3:40pm βrian: @glenn: Marion Post Wolcott www.loc.gov...
	3:41pm ndbob: Hmm Annie - not really _ I like a lot of music that's pretty mainstream - like Taylor Swift - always was a Birtney Spears fan
	3:41pm coelacanth: annie, there's so much that i like, that's hard to swallow; but there's also so much that i passionately loathe, so, maybe!
	3:41pm Dave B: And a HBD to you too Coelacanth. And thanks Annie!
	3:42pm ndbob: Happy bday Dave!
	3:42pm coelacanth: and Meghan - it's Meghan's birthday!!
	3:42pm glenn: okay, thanks.
	3:43pm geezerette: www.loc.gov...
	3:43pm ndbob: and Meghan!
	3:43pm glenn: and she didn't even say anything. she's so modest.
	3:44pm Meghan: Awww, thanks!
	3:44pm annie: i was in heaven as a young teen when our bus got replaced with a new high-tech jobbie... with a radio!!! he played the pop-tune/standards station... ..how cool that was.... well, ndbob. you're allowed in this great sandbox of myriad tunes. just don't ask meghan to play the dead.
	3:44pm Dave B: Reading back thru the comments - I had a chance in the late 80s/early 90s to see Wilson Pickett at this supper club kinda spot on 10th avenue NYC.
	3:45pm coelacanth: i too like lots of "mainstream" music; but i do look down my nose a bit at people who ONLY like disneypop, or gangsta rap... so i guess by definition i'm a snob!
	3:45pm geezerette: oops,already posted...nevermind.
	3:45pm Wilson K: Electric Mud "great?" Hm... it does have one great track.
	3:45pm Meghan: ewww, no Dead
	3:46pm ndbob: @annie I wouldn't ask anyone to play the dead:)
	3:46pm Dave B: oh... plat THE Dead, not play dead. That's something for Bailey
	3:47pm annie: definitely a particular state-of-mind band.. and my kid LOVES phish.. the only thing i like by them is that great video someone mashed togther of what phish sounds like to people who hate them.
	3:47pm coelacanth: i went out with a deadhead. she liked a lot of good music though...anyway it was more her "dead culture" that bothered me than the music.
	3:47pm βrian: @ndbob: "Who is that band? And why are they playing out of tune?"
	3:47pm Dave B: play, not plat...
	3:47pm Wilson K: Another gasface lyrical remix?
	3:48pm Parq: I am a total music snob. I don't apologize for it and I don't care who knows it. < continues dancing to "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" >
	3:48pm Mike East: I'll cop to being a music snob, albeit a very open minded one. To me its about discerning...being able to express why I like one thing and don't like another. Some people don't even think about it, they just eat what they're fed.
	3:48pm Dave B: heh - I heard the same thing with those first few notes Wilson
	3:49pm annie: yes MIke^
	3:50pm Meghan: Coelacanth.... yes, the culture bothers me more than the band....
	3:50pm ndbob: Heaven is a Place on Earth is great!
	3:51pm glenn: i'm not smrt enough to be a music snob.
	3:51pm Meghan: There is a difference between being a music snob and guilty pleasures....
	3:51pm annie: it is, actually, bob
	3:52pm glenn: besides, is snobdom determined by like or dislikes?
	3:52pm Dave B: fanatics of anything turn me off
	3:52pm geezerette: Wilson K, obviously I love Muddy Waters original recordings but Electric Mud is great too,just that it works when it shouldn't! For me anyway.
	3:53pm Parq: Fans being more hard to take than the artist itself has plenty of validity. I like the Bobs, but the one concert of their I attended, I found their fans to be the most insufferable bunch of smug preppies I've ever been forced to sit with.
	3:53pm Dave B: and don't forget the patchoulli... "It smells like dirt that got f*cked by a hobo" - Patton Oswalt
	3:53pm annie: and, yes, i loved the beegees disco stuff..
	3:54pm ndbob: me too annie
	3:54pm Uncle Michael: There are no guilty pleasures.
	3:54pm annie: i was glad to discover indie music just when the radio was getting very very boring..i never looked back.. then the 80s arrived.
	3:55pm ndbob: indeed UM
	3:55pm Wilson K: Say what you will about the Dead, but they helped initiate my deeper understanding of music. I was listening to Deep Elem Blues at the age of 16 and I remember my dad's friend being like, "Yeah, that's alright, but you know they didn't write that song, right?" Mind blown. He gave me a huge box of old roots and blues tapes. I started peeling back the layers and never stopped...
	3:55pm annie: i have to say i think we are a very lucky generation..
	3:56pm annie: and my guilty pleasure was that station "the music of your life"; all standards all the time
	3:56pm Dave B: @Uncle Michael - There is only Schadenfreude!!!!
	3:56pm glenn: jerry garcia does a great version of deep ellum blues, for what it's worth.
	3:57pm coelacanth: Mike @ 3;48 well put
	3:57pm annie: ok, but no jamming
	3:57pm ndbob: excellent show Meghan!
	3:57pm Parq: As UM well knows, I endorse his philosophy. I love a lot of stupid, mainstream, trite and/or over-familiar stuff, and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.
	3:57pm glenn: sorry, that should say pre-dead version.
	3:58pm coelacanth: the grateful dead were excellent when they started. they just got very bland. ...and kept going..........
	3:58pm annie: meg, you killed it again today!
	3:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the show, Meghan!
	3:59pm JtotheK: great show, thanks meghan!
	3:59pm annie: happy birthday meghan!
	3:59pm glenn: thanks meghan. happy freakin' birthday.
	3:59pm coelacanth: anyway i may think my music's better than theirs, but that doesn't mean i think I'M better.
	4:00pm coelacanth: Thank you Meghan! Happy Birthday, again! later on y'all.
	4:01pm Dave B: W00T!

	2:17pm Charlie: early Duke Ellington = reason to be on this planet
	2:22pm glenn: "there's two kinds of music. good music, and the other kind" -duke ellington.
	2:22pm Meghan: ain't that the truth!
	2:23pm annie: i once was in the same room as CC, a showing of Pippin on Broadway, he strolled like nobody's business. all white-zoot-suited..
	2:24pm βrian: "There are two kinds ..." C'mon, now!
	2:25pm glenn: i only speak truth, meghan. for instance, i'm an exremely wealthy, super handsome, incredibly smart guy with a huge... ego.
	2:32pm Meghan: hahaha nice
	2:33pm ndbob: original version!
	2:36pm coelacanth: aw,shucks! i just missed "last kiss".

	2:45pm Wilson K: Big O. Yes. Yep.
	2:45pm Meghan: You can't go wrong with Otis.... the man!
	2:48pm ndbob: One of the few good things about being older (old?) is I got to see Otis live
	2:51pm Meghan: OHHHHH, so super duper jealous...... seriously.... so jealous

	3:01pm ndbob: also saw the Temptations and Martha and the Vandellas - never the Miracle, Marvin Gaye, etc
	3:01pm Meghan: I've been to concerts with people who just stand still the whole time. not a single movement. Granted, that was the first and last time I went to a concert with them....
	3:03pm βrian: @Meghan: was that a John Cage concert, perchance?
	3:03pm Meghan: All so good ndbob! Ha.... no but I could see that happen there!
	3:03pm glenn: many years ago, i had to split up with my leg model g.f. because she thought the sun set on lionel ritchie. i mean, really.
	3:04pm Meghan: my 5th grade self would have.... but that was for a brief couple months....
	3:05pm ndbob: I've had mixed experiences re relationships and music - some a lot of common interests, some very little
	3:05pm Mike East: I can't say my wife shares my passion for music, but there are a few artists that we bond over - Otis Redding, Hoodoo Gurus, Psychedelic Furs. But, for the most part, I think her taste is...well...let's talk about something else.
	3:07pm Mike East: I come here (wfmu) for intelligent musical discussion with people who know what they're talking about.
	3:07pm glenn: okay. how does she feel about butter in coffee?
	3:07pm coelacanth: haha!
	3:08pm ndbob: I like the Miracles music up until about 1968 - my fave Motown group
	3:08pm Mike East: @glenn - funny you say that...she was very attracted to my habit of dunking buttered rolls in coffee because her father did the same thing
	3:09pm glenn: there you go. men marry their mothers, women marry their fathers.
	3:10pm annie: eewwww.. no glenn no!!
	3:11pm βrian: Any Lightnin' Hopkins on tap, by any chance?
	3:13pm Meghan: I wish..... 2 hour slot had to slim it down.... that's why i need to do an all blues show.....
	3:13pm glenn: hey, i don't make this stuff up, you know.
	3:13pm Nate K.: As for the topic, I know it can be done.
	3:14pm annie: i did fall in love with the father of a couple kids i babysat for. one day before the parents had gone out the father was going in to exquisite detail over a solo violin part in sheherzade, my favorite piece of music. his passion for the interlude sealed my love for him. ...and i'm good frinds with him to this very day. although he does not remember that day, i guess because he lived that passion all the time.. ... THAT'S the kind of guy i like...
	3:14pm geezerette: Meghan, this is such a great show!!! I met a guy recently who actually said he wasn't interested in music. How sad is that?!!
	3:14pm ndbob: I remember meeting someone for the first time that I was involved with for a while - she came to visit me from Wyoming - I took her to her first record show - I was in Baltimore then - I remember sitting on the floor at the airport trying to balance the weight of all her records between suitcases
	3:16pm annie: see, i like a man by the size of his record collection..
	3:17pm coelacanth: i've never had a "relationship" with a woman like my mother for very long. the only thing is she wasn't over-the-top nurturing; and i don't like being nurtured much.
	3:18pm ndbob: I like being nurtured - and nurturing myself
	3:18pm glenn: i'm biting my tongue, annie.
	3:19pm annie: actually, i DID have a very wonderful relationship with someone who loved music the way i did... there was more passion in our love for the music and books. .. not so much else, but the first bit made me higher than a kite. he passed away a year ago.. and each time i hear something we'd like, i look up and wink towards the sky
	3:19pm βrian: Would that be gigabytes or terabytes?
	3:19pm annie: glenn: :-p
	3:21pm coelacanth: ndbob i'm more nurturing and i like it that way. it doesn't mean i don't want the person to give a crap! (and let me know that). if i'm sick, please bring me some miso soup then go in the other room!
	3:22pm glenn: mmmm. now i want miso soup. with scallions, please.
	3:22pm ndbob: @coelacanth :)
	3:23pm coelacanth: my most heartbreaking romance was with someone equally passionate as i about music, but she generally liked much more "commercial" music than i. i learned a lot from her though, after having exiled myself from commercial radio for several years.
	3:23pm annie: remember, miso soup with water OFF the boil
	3:23pm glenn: also, i think we spend more time discussing food and books than music, but i could be wrong.
	3:24pm Uncle Michael: Lovin' the hits!
	3:24pm geezerette: Please,please,please,please do a blues show!
	3:25pm βrian: Food, books, music, and ... wine!
	3:26pm annie: ...and i'm just starting another collection of Paul Bowles's short stories. wine!!! i have mine!
	3:26pm coelacanth: i worked with a guy years ago who'd get violently angry if i dared to suggest that there's any redeeming value in music. we saw eye-to-eye on almost everything else. strange.
	3:26pm βrian: "Have we no wine here?" (Coriolanus, Act I, Scene 9)
	3:27pm coelacanth: just pulled this album out last week! All Great!
	3:27pm annie: ...and i made the serious mistake of getting iinvolved with someone who had no idea who vivaldi was.. i should have known.. sheesh
	3:27pm Nate K.: Ahhh, the Temps version, nice.
	3:28pm Meghan: mmmmm wine. Need to pick up wine on the way home.....
	3:28pm glenn: "The food of thy soul is light and space; feed it then on light and space. But the food of thy body is Champagne and oysters; feed it then on Champagne and oysters; and so shall it merit a joyful resurrection, if there is any to be." - Herman Melville, 1852
	3:28pm Wilson K: My wife and I have differing tastes in music. I learned to like hers, and she just avoids mine.
	3:28pm Meghan: hahaha.....
	3:29pm Dave B: Howdy BD girl...
	3:29pm coelacanth: (no, it was "psychedelic shack")
	3:29pm annie: "Music hath the charms to soothe the savage breast." how misunderstood that line is. maybe i'll just hitch to someone who actually groks it.
	3:29pm Meghan: My birthday gift from my husband yesterday was a Jesus and Mary Chain album.... we have a lot of cross over of music taste. But yes, he does like some stuff I am not a fan of, and vice versa!
	3:30pm Meghan: Howdy Mr Brady!!
	3:30pm glenn: ii split up with somebody over religious differences. i'm an atheist, and she's satan.
	3:30pm Lewis: In my house, the challenge is that I listen far and wide and do not often return to the same place. I have a very high tolerance to listen through. My partner doesn't...
	3:31pm βrian: Through the door, I could here my housemate playing Coltrane. I brought a glass of Vacqueyras and knocked...
	3:32pm annie: i used to hate van morrison, then the downstairs tenant moved in and loved to blare that music. i acquired a taste for it; and listen with nostalgia for those days
	3:32pm coelacanth: ah-ha! so you ARE an aquarian! Happy Birthday fellow aquarian!
	3:33pm Wilson K: Her tastes tend toward the effete. Once I put on Led Zeppelin I and said it was some hot new band just to disqualify forever thereafter her claim of never having listened to Led Zeppelin.
	3:33pm Meghan: I lost a bet and had to watch the RUSH documentary..... with an open mind. That's how it goes down in my place. He lost the bet prior and was supposed to wear a size Medium New Order shirt....
	3:35pm Parq: Way-digging this Temps. Like a lot of people, I suspect, I didn't know they did the original of this. Remember their whole Psych Soul period so well.
	3:35pm Dave B: me too coelacanth - 2/7
	3:35pm glenn: i hate rush but that documentary is fabulous.
	3:36pm Meghan: I did watch with an open mind.... and where they started to geek out was where they lost me...
	3:37pm Dave B: don't get me started on the musical differences I had with the ex.
	3:37pm glenn: anyway, i hate to repeat myself, but is that a paul hoeffler photograph on the playlist?
	3:38pm geezerette: There's a great psychedelic Muddy Waters album called "Electric Mud".
	3:38pm Parq: < hears a favorite record from own adolescence, blisses out >
	3:38pm annie: i think we're all a bunch of music snobs
	3:39pm coelacanth: Happy Birthday Dave B! (i'm 2-2)
	3:40pm Dave B: Glenn - Library of Congress credits it to Marion Post Wolcott www.loc.gov...
	3:40pm annie: happy birthday dave!!..
	3:40pm Meghan: Glenn, not sure.... I just image searched Chitlin Circuit
	3:40pm Mike East: Bernadette!!
	3:40pm βrian: @glenn: Marion Post Wolcott www.loc.gov...
	3:41pm ndbob: Hmm Annie - not really _ I like a lot of music that's pretty mainstream - like Taylor Swift - always was a Birtney Spears fan
	3:41pm coelacanth: annie, there's so much that i like, that's hard to swallow; but there's also so much that i passionately loathe, so, maybe!
	3:41pm Dave B: And a HBD to you too Coelacanth. And thanks Annie!
	3:42pm ndbob: Happy bday Dave!
	3:42pm coelacanth: and Meghan - it's Meghan's birthday!!
	3:42pm glenn: okay, thanks.
	3:43pm geezerette: www.loc.gov...
	3:43pm ndbob: and Meghan!
	3:43pm glenn: and she didn't even say anything. she's so modest.
	3:44pm Meghan: Awww, thanks!
	3:44pm annie: i was in heaven as a young teen when our bus got replaced with a new high-tech jobbie... with a radio!!! he played the pop-tune/standards station... ..how cool that was.... well, ndbob. you're allowed in this great sandbox of myriad tunes. just don't ask meghan to play the dead.
	3:44pm Dave B: Reading back thru the comments - I had a chance in the late 80s/early 90s to see Wilson Pickett at this supper club kinda spot on 10th avenue NYC.
	3:45pm coelacanth: i too like lots of "mainstream" music; but i do look down my nose a bit at people who ONLY like disneypop, or gangsta rap... so i guess by definition i'm a snob!
	3:45pm geezerette: oops,already posted...nevermind.
	3:45pm Wilson K: Electric Mud "great?" Hm... it does have one great track.
	3:45pm Meghan: ewww, no Dead
	3:46pm ndbob: @annie I wouldn't ask anyone to play the dead:)
	3:46pm Dave B: oh... plat THE Dead, not play dead. That's something for Bailey
	3:47pm annie: definitely a particular state-of-mind band.. and my kid LOVES phish.. the only thing i like by them is that great video someone mashed togther of what phish sounds like to people who hate them.
	3:47pm coelacanth: i went out with a deadhead. she liked a lot of good music though...anyway it was more her "dead culture" that bothered me than the music.
	3:47pm βrian: @ndbob: "Who is that band? And why are they playing out of tune?"
	3:47pm Dave B: play, not plat...
	3:47pm Wilson K: Another gasface lyrical remix?
	3:48pm Parq: I am a total music snob. I don't apologize for it and I don't care who knows it. < continues dancing to "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" >
	3:48pm Mike East: I'll cop to being a music snob, albeit a very open minded one. To me its about discerning...being able to express why I like one thing and don't like another. Some people don't even think about it, they just eat what they're fed.
	3:48pm Dave B: heh - I heard the same thing with those first few notes Wilson
	3:49pm annie: yes MIke^
	3:50pm Meghan: Coelacanth.... yes, the culture bothers me more than the band....
	3:50pm ndbob: Heaven is a Place on Earth is great!
	3:51pm glenn: i'm not smrt enough to be a music snob.
	3:51pm Meghan: There is a difference between being a music snob and guilty pleasures....
	3:51pm annie: it is, actually, bob
	3:52pm glenn: besides, is snobdom determined by like or dislikes?
	3:52pm Dave B: fanatics of anything turn me off
	3:52pm geezerette: Wilson K, obviously I love Muddy Waters original recordings but Electric Mud is great too,just that it works when it shouldn't! For me anyway.
	3:53pm Parq: Fans being more hard to take than the artist itself has plenty of validity. I like the Bobs, but the one concert of their I attended, I found their fans to be the most insufferable bunch of smug preppies I've ever been forced to sit with.
	3:53pm Dave B: and don't forget the patchoulli... "It smells like dirt that got f*cked by a hobo" - Patton Oswalt
	3:53pm annie: and, yes, i loved the beegees disco stuff..
	3:54pm ndbob: me too annie
	3:54pm Uncle Michael: There are no guilty pleasures.
	3:54pm annie: i was glad to discover indie music just when the radio was getting very very boring..i never looked back.. then the 80s arrived.
	3:55pm ndbob: indeed UM
	3:55pm Wilson K: Say what you will about the Dead, but they helped initiate my deeper understanding of music. I was listening to Deep Elem Blues at the age of 16 and I remember my dad's friend being like, "Yeah, that's alright, but you know they didn't write that song, right?" Mind blown. He gave me a huge box of old roots and blues tapes. I started peeling back the layers and never stopped...
	3:55pm annie: i have to say i think we are a very lucky generation..
	3:56pm annie: and my guilty pleasure was that station "the music of your life"; all standards all the time
	3:56pm Dave B: @Uncle Michael - There is only Schadenfreude!!!!
	3:56pm glenn: jerry garcia does a great version of deep ellum blues, for what it's worth.
	3:57pm coelacanth: Mike @ 3;48 well put
	3:57pm annie: ok, but no jamming
	3:57pm ndbob: excellent show Meghan!
	3:57pm Parq: As UM well knows, I endorse his philosophy. I love a lot of stupid, mainstream, trite and/or over-familiar stuff, and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.
	3:57pm glenn: sorry, that should say pre-dead version.
	3:58pm coelacanth: the grateful dead were excellent when they started. they just got very bland. ...and kept going..........
	3:58pm annie: meg, you killed it again today!
	3:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the show, Meghan!
	3:59pm JtotheK: great show, thanks meghan!
	3:59pm annie: happy birthday meghan!
	3:59pm glenn: thanks meghan. happy freakin' birthday.
	3:59pm coelacanth: anyway i may think my music's better than theirs, but that doesn't mean i think I'M better.
	4:00pm coelacanth: Thank you Meghan! Happy Birthday, again! later on y'all.
	4:01pm Dave B: W00T!
